Thank you for the suggestion. At this time the CCNP curriculum will continue to be through Cisco Press. All exams and instructor materials for CCNP courses will continue to be available in NetAcad.

Implement Speed Grader in the new experience
Please implement "Preview Submitted Assignments" in the new Moodle experience (aka SpeedGrader). It is very hard to grade student assignments as currently implemented! The information is below:

Report of student answers to exam questions by # of correct answers / # of total answers by question.
Seeing each question by % correct would make it very easy for instructors to see quickly as to what areas would benefit from additional classroom time or possibly draw attention to questions that aren't worded well

Create Calendar Entries from Entered Assignments
Support Staff advised that the NETACAD calendar must be populated manually. I had a preconceived notion that the Assignments section would transfer/copy the entries into the NETACAD calendar. This capability would lessen human intervention and potential errors.

Bulk Editing of Assignment Due Dates
Please provide an easy way to edit the due dates and cutoff dates for all assignments at once in the new LMS. It is incredibly tedious to go into each assignment when you have 50 per course and change dates. Moodle has a tool for this already called the "Dates Report" it just needs to be enabled.

Figure out some way to include module numbers covered by assessments in CCNA courses when activating assessments
What's old is new again. This popular request was denied without an explanation so it's being resubmitted. If you're not going to do this the instructor community which is wasting time because of bad UI should get more of an explanation than "we aren't going to do this at this time". If you truly do not care about the time being wasted by instructors please say so.

Since version 7.0 of the CCNA courses came out the module numbers do not show on the assessment server pages (create and manage activations). The assessments do not appear in any order…

Thank you for the suggestion. We have researched this and we are unable to implement. We recommend users activate exams from the links in main page for assessments. This will show the exam name at the top of the page including the module numbers as opposed to using the Assessment Center.

Assignment Grading Screen
I know this has been brought up before but I’m asking again if CISCO would PLEASE activate the Moodle Document Converter feature so that assignments can be graded in Moodle (See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSxxdglCaeE) instead of having to be downloaded, graded, and then feedback files uploaded to Moodle for the student. The current set up is incredibly inefficient and wastes valuable time for instructors.
This feature can easily be added by using Unoconv or the Google Drive Converter in Moodle. (see: https://docs.moodle.org/311/en/Document_converters). Based on my previous experience administering a Moodle installation, the Google Drive Converter seems to be the most…

Teacher Approval to not reload page
Hello,
Would there be a way to not not let the Teacher Approval on the Course Completion page reload for every student checked? For example, have a button at the bottom that would submit all checked at the same time?
Thanks!

Export for Questions and Categories
It would be helpful to have the ability to export custom questions and categories. The import option is only available at this time. The Moodle platform usually has this option available. The course import and restore feature does not allow you to filter the custom questions and categories and you end up having duplicate categories and questions for the ones that already exist in the Cisco course.

Grading notifications
One feature I would really like to see is grading notifications on the course home page – those are sorely missed. It’s wasting so much of my time searching for submitted assignments that I’m considering abandoning the environment entirely.

Login duration too short + double first login (always)
The duration of Login in a Course is too short (2h?). When I have a day-long lesson (8-9 hours) I have to re-login at least 3-4 times to gain access to my folders. This is annoying.
Morover, the Login phase at the first attempt alway fails (already higlighted many times) and a second Login-login has to be attempted to enter the account.20 votes -
customize activation beginning time while using preconfigured activation profile(s)
Please allow to customize activation beginning time while using preconfigured activation profile(s). Currently it takes only current time and puts it as beginning time. Therefore I usually cannot use Default Activation as it does not allow customize beginning time.

multiple activation profiles
Please allow create multiple activation profiles. Currently only one is possible but several different exams can be done. Would be useful to create appropriate activation profiles also. Besides, when changed activation profile time window to 7 days, then when tried to create new activation with using previously changed activation profile, it took 1 day less than 7 days and could not change it. Only when did not use activation profile, I could choose 7 days. Used Advanced Activation choice as this gave an option to choose different starting time than current.

Step-by-step guide for google admins
Many schools are using google managed email addresses.
Students are not receiving welcome NetAcad emails and cannot create their account.
It would be useful to provide a step-by-step guide for those google admins :-)1 voteArchived ·AdminSandra Ray

Search Field in Gradebook
There should be search field in the gradebook in order to be able to search for a specific student.

Thank you for posting to Share Idea. We are unable to make changes at this time to the Gradebook. There are a few options you can use:
1) The First Name and Surname sections can be used to narrow the Gradebook list
2) The "Grade History" section can be used to view a single student and there is a search feature there
3) Exporting the Gradebook can sometimes help to sort by the columns you want
